DLR Group: Trends in Tech-Office Design

According to CBRE Research’s 2017 Colorado Tech Book report, at least 40 tech companies expanded their presence in Colorado in the past year. Downtown Denver was the epicenter of technology growth with more than 200,000 square feet of positive net absorption. Both suburban and downtown markets have gained attention from incoming or growing tech companies, looking for well-located offices with attractive amenities and cost-effectiveness. And, with many companies competing to attract and retain tech talent, the design of an office space is now also a key component to a companies success.

Founded as an architecture and engineering firm in 1966, today DLR Group serves clients through integrated delivery of planning, architecture, engineering, interiors, and building optimization for new construction, renovation, and adaptive reuse. Having worked with tech giants Google on their campus in Kirkland, Wash., the firm was perfectly positioned to design office space for some other prominent companies in the tech world, this time in the Denver market.
